The studio was very cool. It was very clean and the building seemed secure. Air conditioning was loud and bed was comfortable but it squeaked. The price was great as well as the location.
The host was amazing. Due to the fair, roads were blocked and he took the time to get me to the apt. And the apt was great! I also know this may be simple but having an ice maker for ice water made my night!
The apartment was nice and had everything we needed for our stay. However, when we checked in at the 4 pm check in time, the dishwasher was still running and there were still towels in the dryer. The other towels for our use during our stay were folded on the bed and placed in the bathroom. A couple of those towels still had hair on them so we elcted to not use those. The dishwasher running and towels in the dryer aren't a big deal to us, but also renting a place for the night shouldn't require any work from the renters side.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was super welcoming and pleasant. However the cleanliness of the flat wasn’t quite up to par. When we arrived at the Vrbo the trash hadn’t been removed prior to us getting there. The floors through out the flat were dirty, there were feces left in the toilet and mold on the shower curtain. The Vrbo did not have toilet paper and only had half a roll available once we arrived (not too big of a deal had it been a longer trip we would have planned needing to buy more) overall it was generally fine. Just a few things that you’d expect to be taken care of weren’t. There also weren’t any oven mitts in the flat which made it hard to use the oven for anything. I don’t like having to ask the host for anything during the stay and feel we shouldn’t have to. Otherwise it was overall decent enough. I’d come back and just bring some of my own things to clean up a little.
